Olay Regenerist Update

I've been an Olay Regenerist fan for ages, it seems to work with my skin, making it clearer, happy and the anti aging ingredients make me feel that I'm stopping the clock. Last week I popped into town to hear from the Olay scientists about there new formaula for this skincare favourite. My inner (and outer) geek was loving all of the science behind the updates, which were all linked to boosting energy in our skin cells, to reduce skin fatigue and improve the response to the anti aging ingredients. The new formula includes an increased dose of proven ingredients Niacinamide and Pal-KTTKS. It also sees the addition of OliveM (from olive oil) to help the penetration of the other anti ageing ingredients, and Lys'Lastine V in the 3 Point Super Firming Serum* (£19.99) and 3 Point Super Age-Defying Cream* (£19.99) which I've been trying out. The products will be available exclusively at Boots from the 1st April.

I really do like both of these products, the serum is so smoothing and the moisturiser seeps into the skin easily. Studies have shown that using for 10 weeks can revers 10 years of wrinkle appearence - luckily I don't have that many wrinkles, and have only been using the products for a fortnight, but I have noticed an improvement in my complection, it is feeling brighter and the texture is improved. The packaging of the Point Super Age-Defying Cream is nice and weighty, feeling like a premier product, however, the serum bottle does feel a little light and more cheaply packaging which is a shame. I would also like the fragrance to smell a little more lucpxorious, but the Regenerist brand is more science focused rather than concentrating on the fluffier side of skincare.
